The ubiquitous eyeglasses can be found adorning the face of all persons ranging from a common man to the most famous celebrities in the world.
The fashion quotient of any eyewear is determined by the fact whether celebrities endorse them or not. If people find a particular pair of sunglasses being used by a very popular, famous and pretty model, the demand for the brand increases.
The loyalties of the masses to the designs and styles of sunglasses is often determined by the choices celebrities make.
Celebrities flaunt sunglasses better than most others and it seems as if no celebrity is willing to be seen in public without a pair of their favorite sunglasses perched on the bridge of their nose.
A quick peek into the celebrity world reveals the very interesting preferences of the celebrities when it comes to choosing sunglasses.
Celebrities Who Sport Fashionable Eyewear
The choice of the glitterati helps the common man deduce the latest trends in eyewear for the season. Fashion celebrities often act as the barometer to gauge the hottest choices for the season. Some celebrities who sport eyewear include:
o Catherine Zeta Jones has floored many critics with her natural talent and spontaneity. She is also known to be very particular about her fashion sense.
She has been seen sporting a Dolce & Gabbaba sunglass. This choice suits her face as the big and bold shades look classy on her sharp features.
o Nick Albert can be safely described as being obsessed with looking fashionable. Even something as small as a pair of sunglass does not escape his attention. He permits nothing other than designer sunglasses to adorn his face.
o Paris Hilton can be safely described as a star who has attained global fame and global notoriety. She sports a pair of the new Oakley Sunglasses. Interestingly, she prefers shades from a line launched exclusively for women.
o For Heidi Klum, nothing other than her classic Aviator sunglasses will suffice. This super girl cum super model has preferred Ray Ban sunglasses in the past. She prefers big shades that completely cover the eye.
o Carmen Electra can be seen with a pair of Missoni sunglasses perched on her face. She too prefers oversized sunglasses. Big sunglasses have made their comeback primarily on the basis of the fact that beautiful models prefer these glasses.
o It is difficult to say whether Michael Jackson contributed to the popularity of sunglasses or vice versa. His latest choice of eyewear happens to be Surplus Military Aviator sunglasses. The frames of these glasses are made of formulates steel.
If you do not watch movies or if you have (gasp) not heard about any of the names mentioned above, then perhaps some more information about choices of celebrity eyewear is in order.
Theodore Roosevelt sported eye wear practically at all times. In case you are wondering who he was, the description that he was one of the greatest presidents of USA should suffice.
The beacon of non violence, Mahatma Gandhi, preferred Windsor style eyeglasses. These glasses, first introduced in the 1880′s, still remain in demand.

24 JulExplaining the Celebrity Kabbalah Bracelet Craze
Ancient religions and cultures of mysticism have always been a hot target for fashion trends in the celebrity world. Over the last few years, we’ve seen a remarkable growth in the number of celebrities beginning to showcase the famous Kabbalah bracelet.
Kabbalah is a Jewish Bible study with a rich history tracing back thousands of years. The Kabbalah teachings are based around a set of spiritual principles. The Kabbalah bracelet is traditionally work to fend off the negative powers of the evil eye and to provide rich spiritual guidance in times of need.
Worn on the left wrist, a standard Kabbalah bracelet has a fairly plain red woven appearance. But as the celebrities have flocked to the craze, we’ve seen more outlandish bracelets hitting the market. The cost of a Kabbalah bracelet can range from $20 to thousands of dollars. There are some premium jewelry brands that the celebrities are the only ones who can afford to pay for!
So how has the Kabbalah bracelet become such a fashion accessory for today’s Hollywood masses? Many would argue that it comes down to a lady named Madonna. She has been captured many times wearing her own Kabbalah bracelets and if the photos are landing in gossip magazines, they’re likely to catch on quickly. Madonna has even been sighted wearing the Kabbalah bracelets during her actual concerts. A sit down interview with Larry King confirmed her faith when she discussed quite openly her belief in the Kabbalistic teachings.
It’s thought that the late Michael Jackson also possessed a handful of Kabbalah jewelry items in his expansive collection. When you look at the star power of just these two names, is it any wonder that the modern wave of celebrities are catching on? Sure enough, we’ve seen Paris Hilton and Britney Spears out and about with the red bracelets in full sight.
The use of the sacred Kabbalah bracelet as a fashion accessory has received a mixed reception from the dedicated Jewish following. Some see it as degrading a sacred symbol. Others are happy that the teachings of Kabbalah are receiving such overwhelming mainstream attention. Either way, it looks like we’ll be seeing much more of these elegant red jewelry pieces over the coming years.
